Warner is a blanket name for distribution purposes. Lots of independent production companies use WB for distribution, Alcon is probably the most well known one. New Line is split because of movies they distributed prior to being acquired by WB.

 

The Nice Guys was WB domestic only, it was distributed by local distributors elsewhere. Some of the New Line films this year co-produced with MGM and also Central Intelligence with Universal won't be distributed by WB either in some markets or all markets OS.

In the 2000s Greece had a strong economy and a growing population. Now the Greek economy is in a terrible, terrible state while the population is decreasing, so many young Greeks left the country...

 

You cannot compare HP movies with FB, things totally changed.

 

Well the crippling economy didn't stop Skyfall, Furious 7, Minions and Star Wars 7 from beating all their predecessors, it didn't stop local film 'Worlds Apart' reach the Top 10 local films of all time, it didn't stop various things from happening. You can't attribute everything to a failing economy. If FB doesn't even reach 200K admissions, clearly the economy isn't the only one to blame.

Those are Billion Dollar Sequels, not Prequels (and you can't even call FB that, because there is no connection to what happens in Harry Potter), with numbers, FB was never supposed to achieve to start with. 

They overperformed everywhere. FB in Greece is not exceptionally worse compared to other countries. FB is just no Harry Potter. Everywhere. But it's doing half a Potter or slightly better in Europe.

Minions was a prequel. The connection to HP brand is there, like it or not.

The Minions were the reason for DMs success from the start. They were the first thing poeple saw in the advertisements. Have you seen Harry, Ron and Hermione hiding somewhere in Fantastic Beasts?

@Quigley is being ludicrous beyond measure.

Look, say whatever you want. There is no way to portray this as a good opening, just because other prequels have done as badly or because the economy is bad. At some point, you need to accept that factors inherent to the movie itself had to with this result. People may not want this, no matter how hard Warner Bros and JK Rowling are trying to shove it down their throats.

#FantasticBeasts TUE: $12M intl + $9.3M dom. Totals: $170.7M intl, $90.5M dom (hits $100M tonight). $261.2M global, China opens FRI.

[zackzack]

Can FB even gross more than $400M OS? I am starting to doubt this. 

China & Japan may contribute strong grosses: $100M - $150M from both?

DOM prediction: $250M

OS                  : $500M

WW Total        : $750M

 

Good enough for another franchise run.

And let's face it : no way any spin-off/reboot 

could match HP original run....

 

And Warner can breathe a sigh of relief now that they have

2 more-than-decent franchises running behind Disney's

Pixar/Lucasfilm/Marvel behemoths

Domestic seems about right. Think OS maybe a tad higher. We will know more with Japans second day and China opening day.

[seduh]

wait for the second weekend to make any statement. I think it will make $500 OS but we need to see how it holds everywhere

[Purple Minion]

Forbes: FB earned a strong $11.3m in its first day in China on Friday, which mean the film has probably already crossed $300m worldwide not even counting whatever it did in Japan.

[Gavin Feng]

UPDATED, Thursday, 3:08 PM: Warner Bros.’ Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them had an opening day of $11.2M in China, besting Disney’s animated musical Moana, the studio says, by five times the gross. With China’s tally added in, Friday morning will see the film push past the $200M mark as its cume through Thursday is $199.3M.
